So i recently bought upgrade components for my pc. My old system was: AMD FX-8320 - Asus M5A97 - 16 gb HyperX fury 1866 DDR3 - Kingston 240gb SSD 300V - 2 x MSI R9 270(non x) crossfire, cooler master cx750w PSU, hyper EVO 212.
I upgraded RAM, CPU, CPU-cooler and MB to: i7 7700K, 16gb Corsair Vengerance 3000mhz, ASUS max hero IX z270, deepcool captain 120EX cpu-cooler.
I wanted to change gpu aswell but decided to wait and perhaps check out the new Vega gpus. My old system got a (P)11000 score in 3dmark 11. My new system gets a (P)15297 score. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/12323049
So this is a 33% increase in scores without changing gpus. My question is if this new score will improve greatly if i for instance bought a gtx 1070/1080?( no sli)/(or wait for vega) And if this upgrade will get me a noticeable better performance in current games?
Currently I am mostly playing games, such as WOW, Diablo III, Fallout 4, Dragon Age inquisition, BF1 (getting low fps warnings ingame bf1 on ultra but acceptable performance), but I would like to play more new releases on higher settings.

What kind of FPS (average, minimums, lows) are you seeing in the titles you play? What resolution do you play at?

CrossFire is only really "worthwhile" if the titles you play support it well, and I don't believe all of those titles do.
A single 1070/1080 (or evern a 6GB 1060, RX480/580) or RX Vega card are going to show sizeable gains in titles with minimal CFx support and, in the case of the 1070/1080, even if CFx support is pretty good, they're still going to perform better.

Without knowing what you're trying to improve on, it's tough to say definitively, but overall a single, stronger GPU would be preferred.
If you're gaming >1080p, then the VRAM aspect of the 270's are going to be a limiting factor regardless - even some...

If you're gaming >1080p, then the VRAM aspect of the 270's are going to be a limiting factor regardless - even some titles (like BF1 I believe) would exhaust that 2GB VRAM available with ease.

I'd be very surprised if a 1060 or greater didn't give you a sizeable gain in maximum FPS - and every card you/I have mentioned are definitely going to be substantial improvements in the low/average FPS numbers.

I was in doubt cause the 3dmark score said it was good for gaming. Then I wanted to answer your questions, so i went for a fps test on the games i played - I went this far:
diablo 3: 50-65FPS ULTRA
WOW: 70(20+man raids)-97 ultra
BF1:20-40! ultra
gtx 1080 ordered,
I have a 144hz monitor 1080p, so I want the high fps, and some day upgrade to a 4k monitor with sli configuration.
Thanks for the advice, I guess that I just wanted confirmation of some sorts. Guess there are a lot of "upgrade now or wait" topics, so thank you for your time!
